In the Particular Particular

It's a great debut: welcome to Stephanie Anderson's chapbook, In the Particular Particular, the winner of the 2006 NMP/DIAGRAM chapbook contest.

These poems smoke when sprayed with water: that is how hot they are. (Technically that's evaporation, but it looks a lot like smoke.) They are each like evaporations, evocations, interactions with the world via verb and adjective and noun. They are gloriously in love with language, and we believe you will love them in return.
